Some long time ago, dentry struct was carefully tuned so that on 32 bits
UP, sizeof(struct dentry) was exactly 128, ie a power of 2, and a multiple
of memory cache lines.
Then RCU was added and dentry struct enlarged by two pointers, with nice
results for SMP, but not so good on UP, because breaking the above tuning
(128 + 8 = 136 bytes)
This patch reverts this unwanted side effect, by using an union (d_u),
where d_rcu and d_child are placed so that these two fields can share their
memory needs.
At the time d_free() is called (and d_rcu is really used), d_child is known
to be empty and not touched by the dentry freeing.
Lockless lookups only access d_name, d_parent, d_lock, d_op, d_flags (so
the previous content of d_child is not needed if said dentry was unhashed
but still accessed by a CPU because of RCU constraints)
As dentry cache easily contains millions of entries, a size reduction is
worth the extra complexity of the ugly C union.

The NFSv4 model requires us to complete all RPC calls that might
establish state on the server whether or not the user wants to
interrupt it. We may also need to schedule new work (including
new RPC calls) in order to cancel the new state.
The asynchronous RPC model will allow us to ensure that RPC calls
always complete, but in order to allow for "synchronous" RPC, we
want to add the ability to wait for completion.
The waits are, of course, interruptible.

The hash.h hash_long function, when used on a 64 bit machine, ignores many
of the middle-order bits. (The prime chosen it too bit-sparse).
IP addresses for clients of an NFS server are very likely to differ only in
the low-order bits. As addresses are stored in network-byte-order, these
bits become middle-order bits in a little-endian 64bit 'long', and so do
not contribute to the hash. Thus you can have the situation where all
clients appear on one hash chain.
So, until hash_long is fixed (or maybe forever), us a hash function that
works well on IP addresses - xor the bytes together.

a cache line used by locks or other heavily modified data. (default
linker alignement is 32 bytes, and L1_CACHE_LINE is 64 or 128 at
least)
This patch makes sure a 'struct proto_ops' can be declared as const,
so that all cpus can share all parts of it without false sharing.
This is not mandatory : a driver can still use a read/write structure
if it needs to (and eventually a __read_mostly)
I made a global stubstitute to change all existing occurences to make
them const.
This should reduce the possibility of false sharing on SMP, and

->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to

actually pass this one down. For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation. All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it. All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.

thus need to perform a full lookup. If you look at debugfs or usbfs they
always store the dentry for directories they created and thus can pass in
a dentry + single pathname component pair into their equivalents of the
above functions.
And in fact rpc_pipefs actually stores a dentry for all but one component so
this change not only simplifies the core rpc_pipe code but also the callers.
Unfortuntately this code path is only used by the NFS4 idmapper and

The next method we abstract is the one that releases a transport,
allowing another task to have access to the transport.
Again, one generic version of this is provided for transports that
don't need the RPC client to perform congestion control, and one
version is for transports that can use the original Van Jacobson
implementation in xprt.c.

The next several patches introduce an API that allows transports to
choose whether the RPC client provides congestion control or whether
the transport itself provides it.
The first method we abstract is the one that serializes access to the
RPC transport to prevent the bytes from different requests from mingling
together. This method provides proper request serialization and the
opportunity to prevent new requests from being started because the
transport is congested.
The normal situation is for the transport to handle congestion control
itself. Although NFS over UDP was first, it has been recognized after
years of experience that having the transport provide congestion control
is much better than doing it in the RPC client. Thus TCP, and probably
every future transport implementation, will use the default method,
xprt_lock_write, provided in xprt.c, which does not provide any kind
of congestion control. UDP can continue using the xprt.c-provided
Van Jacobson congestion avoidance implementation.

When registering an RPC cache, cache_register() always sets the owner as the
sunrpc module. However, there are RPC caches owned by other modules. With
the incorrect owner setting, the real owning module can be removed potentially
with an open reference to the cache from userspace.
For example, if one were to stop the nfs server and unmount the nfsd
filesystem, the nfsd module could be removed eventhough rpc.idmapd had
references to the idtoname and nametoid caches (i.e.
/proc/net/rpc/nfs4.<cachename>/channel is still open). This resulted in a
system panic on one of our machines when attempting to restart the nfs
services after reloading the nfsd module.
The following patch adds a 'struct module *owner' field in struct
cache_detail. The owner is further assigned to the struct proc_dir_entry
in cache_register() so that the module cannot be unloaded while user-space
daemons have an open reference on the associated file under /proc.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
